*just so you all know, I recorded this video twice; the first being 8 minutes long and mentioning several people from the forums that are always there to help/give me advice. only issue was that it was way too long, so i recorded it and only mentioned two names :( but I still think you all are great! :) *

MAAW5 will be my second concert experience, and I need some tips.

What's a good way to stay warm outside while waiting in line, but not sweating to death inside?

I mean, I could wear a hoodie and just tie it around myself when I get it, but that doesn't seem comfortable, ya know?

Me and friends have debated buying/borrowing cheap, old jackets- wear them outside, then when we get inside, we'll just leave them in the bathroom or something... is that a sound idea?

"I mean, I could wear a hoodie and just tie it around myself when I get it"

i say do this, because you are going to need the hoodie when you get out too, and it's not that uncomfortable to tie it around yourself

also, another thing that i'm very careful with when I go to concerts, careful how much you drink (i don't mean alcohol necesarilly, I mean in general, water etc), especially when you spend more time there, cause trips to the bathrooms are the most uncomfortable things ever, - you lose your place in the crowd and well, you know

I was wondering about the jacket thing myself... this will be the first time I've gone to a concert in the wintertime, so yeah, what the hell do you do with your jacket/hoodie/etc. I'm not in the pit this time (by choice), so maybe taking a hoodie might be a good idea. I don't know how cold it gets in San Antonio in February, though I have a good idea.
